The driver refused to stop and got up to 100 mph before the officers called off the chase because of the dangerous speeds, police said.

Minutes later, officers spotted two people walking close to the scene of an apparent crash at Highland and Beech.

They were questioned and one was let go, while the other, Johnnie Kirk, 54, is facing multiple charges, including failure to comply with a police officer, obstructing official business and operating a vehicle while intoxicated.
